Remy Ma Drops ‘Wake Me Up’ Featuring Lil Kim

Given that both rappers have had beef with Nicki Minaj, fans will no doubt read the lyrics as the latest in a series of disses. The lyrics don’t disappoint, which such barbed lines as “I’ll say it to your face, don’t gotta relay that s—/If Nick-ole a Kid-man, OJ that b—-!”

“I wanted to pay homage to Kim” Remy Ma said of the track during a Beats 1 interview (via Genius). “I feel like she is like the Madonna of the hip-hop world to me. Her style is iconic, and I wanted to show homage and pay homage to that, so when I called her, I told her, I’m like, ‘Listen, I want you on this record, but I just want you to be Kim. I want you to be the girl that was squatting down in a leopard thong, be that Kim.'”

“Wake Me Up” is taken from the just-announced upcoming Remy Ma album, 7 Winters & 6 Summers, which is set for an early 2018 release.

The album will be her first full-length solo album after spending time incarcerated in upstate New York and focuses on her life at large, according to a press release. The album “fearlessly tackles multiple subjects including love, marriage, self-care, motherhood, identity and freedom, told from Remy’s point of view.”

“Columbia Records is lucky to get to partner with Remy on this album,” shared Shawn “Tubby” Holiday, the SVP of A&R. “We could not be more proud to be her label home, and help provide a platform for the release of 7 Winters & 6 Summers. It is an incredible album detailing Remy’s story. She has so much to give her fans and this industry. Remy is a true hip hop Icon and we are beyond excited to share her music, and her vision, with the world.”
